Using rules against political opponents is precisely the antics Saul Alinsky loved. Make them live up to their own book of rules. Dems try to do it all the time, but a Republican State Senator in Florida just that idea to a whole new level.
For years now, leftist activists have been trying to ‘cancel’ people and companies for things they have said or done in the past,” he said in a statement. “This includes the removal of statues and memorials and the renaming of buildings. Using this standard, it would be hypocritical not to cancel the Democrat Party itself for the same reason.”
Democrats were the party of slavery, Jim Crowe, the Ku Klux Klan, and they openly opposed civil rights legislation for years. Talk about a monument to racism and oppression that need to be toppled.
SB 1248, “The Ultimate Cancel Act,” would effectively cancel the Democrat party, what Chris Queen at PJ Media says might be “the greatest political trolling job ever.”
Democrats have reliably lost their minds, ranting about Democracy and pointing to anything they can claim makes Republicans look like fascists. It is a popcorn-worthy double feature. A tarp Democrats could not help but leap into head first.
If it is unreasonable, undemocratic, or even un-American (fascist, irresponsible, meanspirited, whatever…) to cancel something whose history is so integrated with chattel slavery, doesn’t that invalidate every other argument for canceling the rest of it?
There is no monument to that oppression greater than the Democrat party. If it wants to argue that it cannot be held responsible for its past mistakes, then reparations are dead.
You can’t punish people who never had slaves to reward people who never were slaves if Democrats can’t be canceled for their party’s past support for slavery.
Critical Race Theory has no legs. The 1619 project is political masturbation. And systemic white supremacy and white culture narratives are angry misguided children robbed of life by their own creators.
The statues must go back, the building’s names returned, and the confederate flag restored.
None of that will happen, and no one should expect it, but SB1248 has laid the Left bare and trapped them in their hypocrisy.
If Democrats or their party are not a trigger for slavery and racism, nothing is.
